Fabulous Stay for 2 Families
We had an amazing time, and Blue Haven was the perfect set up for our group of 10 including 4 adults and 6 teenagers. The local is ideal, the house was well equipped and communication before and throughout the stay with the owner was excellent. I highly recommend if staying with extended family or a large group!

Awesome Family Reunion
There were 7 of us. My husband and myself and our 5 adult kids. The house was incredible, there was nothing missing. The kitchen was awesome to cook in , a huge dining table, beautiful porches for our morning coffee. We had a fun outdoor happy hour evening one night set up at the outdoor bar area that lights up with comfy chairs with views of the sound. Loved the close access to the sound where we used the houe kayaks and SUP's. We used the bikes to get to the beach each day. Loved the hot tub. Even had tennis rackets for those that forgot to bring. We had fun movie nights in the downstairs family room. Everyone loved having their own shower and bathroom area. Highly recommend this house and we can't wait to come back!

Amazing Time at Blue Haven
It was amazing! Your beautiful home was the backdrop to our family vacation. Every moment was a treasure. We built sandcastles, shared laughter and amazing food in the open kitchen, and watched the sun blend into a palette of breathtaking colors. We spent most of our time gathering in the open living room and kitchen, celebrating multiple birthdays and amazing memories! The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed and more! Thank you so much for everything! I hope to be back next year!!

Charged extra cleaning fee
We were charged hundreds of dollars in extra cleaning fees because a small side table and a kitchen chair were not in their original positions, and the throw pillows were not put back where they belonged. In addition, the owner claimed we were responsible for an old recliner not closing smoothly and charged us for a repair. Owner was also very upset about a maintenance issue not being reported before we left the property. There are lots of other properties in Corolla. Do yourself a favor and choose a different one. You may be saving yourself hundreds of dollars of tacked-on fees.

Blue Haven is the BEST!
We absolutely 100% enjoyed our stay at Blue Haven! The location is perfect, close to the lighthouse, nature trail, park, and village center… every place you would like to get to is within walking distance. The sunsets are amazing on the sound right in the backyard. The resort’s Oceanside pool and beach were an every day destination for our adult children and were just a short walk or trolley ride away. There were nine adults staying in the house and we were all very comfortable and had our own space. It was fabulous to have the bikes and kayaks right on site! Clell was a fantastic host and was quick to reply to all of our inquiries. We all recommend Blue Haven as the perfect Corolla destination!

Loved our time at Blue Haven
Great place for our extended family to spend the week! Blue Haven had everything we needed to entertain ages from 3-64. Enough space for everyone to gather plus areas to get away for a little quiet time. Lovely decor and special touches made it a memorable time for all. Loved the proximity to the sound, lighthouse, 4x4 beach, and ocean. Kitchen is well-equipped and large enough that several can work together in meal prep. There are also several restaurants within walking distance. Owner, Clell, was always very helpful and quick in answering any questions we had.

Nicely appointed home with everything you need in a beach neighborhood. Adults enjoyed the biking around with the kids. The waves were big due to the recent storm but all enjoyed the beach & pool complex. Great place for multigenerations to spend time together!

All was good except for the unfortunate Sound smell from the rotting weeds, which was not in the control of the owner. Because of the smell, we were unable to use the Kayaks.

College Bound Getaway Trip
I booked Blue Haven as an off to college trip for my son and his friends and brought grandparents along. The property, location, amenities, and beach really brought a dream to reality for all. Anything we needed or wanted was in walking distance, and the kayaks and paddle boards were used daily. We saw bald eagle and osprey nests, outstanding fireworks, and enjoyed bike riding to the historic district and beer garden. Couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay in the OBX! Clell, thank you and your family for providing and sharing a true haven. Jamie Cristelli Daytona Beach, FL

Northern OBX trip
My entire family of 9 had an awesome time in this perfectly nestled house within a great neighborhood right next to the Sound. Being 1 block South of Currituck lighthouse area and just across Hwy 12 from the heart of Corolla Light Resort (the beach only minutes away) made walking, bicycling, scootering and LSV riding a blast. Large open spaces with plenty of seating for eating and playing card games, plenty of sleeping arrangements, and not to forget to mention the game/theater room (best part overall), couldn't have found a better house for what created a truly memorable vacation.

We came to OBX with our three grown children, son in law , future daughter in law and two grandchildren. Blue Haven was the perfect house for our group, there was plenty of room for all of us . We did a family movie night in the theater room, We enjoyed riding the bikes, walks on the nature trail, and the kayaks ans SUPs . This summer our youngest gets married and moves 9 hrs away, this is most likely our last vacation all together for a long time, thank you for providing such a great place for us to enjoy !!!

Amazing OBX Family Trip!
Our family enjoyed everything about our OBX vacation - well, except the weather. Clell's place was perfect for us. First, it was so clean (a must for this picky mom!). Secondly, our married children were so happy about the three king size bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms! And my teenage son loved the lower level rec-room with the big screen for his nintendo switch games! The neighborhood was great. We loved being able to walk to so many things. The walk to the beach was so easy (never felt the need to take the trolly). The kayaks and paddle boards were a nice feature. We enjoyed those - as many of the days were too cloudy and windy to enjoy the beach. Even though the weather most of the week was cloudy, we were never lacking in activities. We walked to the lighthouse, flew kites on the beach, kayaked on the sound, went crabbing on the pier, visited the sports center, and enjoyed the spacious house. We even got in a couple of 1000 piece puzzles. The house was perfect - kitchen well equipped for several at home meals. Bathrooms were updated and very nice (for those of you looking for pictures of the bathrooms, no need to worry!) The theater room was fun. We watched Top Gun Maverick on the big screen! The hot tub was in excellent condition. Plenty of outdoor seating for everyone! Clell was great to work with. I asked several questions early in the week and he was very quick to respond. He gave us several dining recommendations and we were not disappointed!

Nice House With Several Broken Amenities
We had many issues during our time here, starting with the booking. Two week after booking the owner increased the rate by 65%. By then the other 4 properties on our list had rented out. I called VRBO to check the legality and they said, “Owners can do this, but they’ve never seen such a high amount.” I was able to negotiate the upcharge to $1000. First, the Xbox does not work. It wouldn’t load any of the games & kept asking for a memory card. The freezer’s ice maker froze over and the door would not seal. Every morning we pried the door open and chiseled out an ice damn. The theater system didn’t work. Kids in their PJs, popcorn made, and … empty screen. Clell walked us through some steps, but an AV tech needed to be called in and took 2 days to fix it. While troubleshooting we were asked to shut the system down, which took down the WiFi system. The gas grill did not work. Again, veggies cut, burgers ready, but no gas. Then the washing machine leaked water. Clell said the same thing happened the week prior. We had to wash clothes in the sink. Why wasn’t the appliances delivered when the problem was discovered? Finally, the appliance delivery took all our beach towels. They were returned the next afternoon. Before we leave, we get an email from Clell: “We hope you have enjoyed your vacation and thank you again for choosing Blue Haven. I am sorry for all the issues that occurred during your stay, in 20 years we have never had so many thing (sic) break or require attention in a week (or an entire season)” I have also rented houses all over the country and have had nothing but 5-star experiences. This has been my first 3-star rating. I understand that things happen, but this was out-of-the-ordinary awful. We asked for the $1000 upcharge refunded. With Clell clearly acknowledging we were his worst-case scenario during his 20 years, we got this reply: “After carful (sic) consideration I cannot honor your request for a $1000 refund. Things break over time, as I have stated nothing that happened during your stay was an issue the week or weeks before except water on the floor near the washing machine which we reported to our management company to inspect. I responded to every issue immediately and fixed each as quickly as possible including replacing the washer and dryer set within 24 hours” Yes, things DO break over time, but not typically in the span of one week and not to the degree we experienced.
